Never played this before but a mate told me about the zero build mode and I'm absolutely loving it. Much more chilled than warzone and less technical than apex (which i do think is excellent) 

Did they say this would launch on Gamepass?

Slay the spire on ascension 1. I genuinely think I'll be playing it with a cup of tea and a biscuit when I'm 70

Keep telling myself not to buy this so I don't lose my life again but am getting unexpectedly excited about a game I quit a couple of years ago

I guess I'm the only one who's looking forward to Tiny Tina's Wonderlands more than anything else! (Elden Ring is on order and I've already pre-written my sales thread for it in Trading, having never played a Souls game before).

Is it possible to turn the difficulty down without replaying the whole level? Heroic was fine up until this bit.
 

edit: I’ve given up. Can’t be bothered with it. It will just have to stay unfinished. 

The same bit took me ages and was an incredibly frustrating way to end a game I'd really loved until that point.

The grappling hook is the single most fun thing in the entire game and elevated that first third/half of it to a real sandbox joy.

 

Wanting to nerf it? Absolute madness.

This is an interesting one for me. I don't have much time to game these days and I'm really enjoying halo because i am finding it very relaxing going around competing bits whilst not having to think that much (playing on heroic). Having read the discussion on the grapple hook, it's immediately apparent to me that the major reason I'm not having to think is that i beat almost every encounter very easily because of the (almost infinite) 'ammo' of the shock grapple ability. I'm having fun but after a few hours the combat is feeling very repetative due to the strength of this ability/mechanic.

I don't mind it too much as i get a maximum of an hour to play the game a few times a week however from an objective perspective, I can see it detracts from the quality of each encounter as I'm able to clear almost everything with a battle rifle and the grapple ability therefore not experiencing the variety weapons and encounters in a more unique way.

Of course I could force myself to not use the grapple, not use the BR and not use the map for better exploration but those would be of my own design rather than the game (time constraints mean I choose not to though i do accept it's to the detriment of the sandbox on offer). 

Having never seen clone wars and only knowing the universe through the movies, can i dive straight into this or should I watch clone wars first? 

Just got cotton reboot on the switch. Haven't played a game like this in years... Absolutely loving it! 

Am i playing a different game or am i just really shit at this? I must have died 50 times at the first boss

It's really good. I love the style and music. Hard as fuck though.

I've been playing on easy and having a blast

I needed a palate cleanser... Rinsed this a little while ago and uninstalled it but decided to download it again to have a quick go. I'm completely addicted again! Seems like they've updated the game quite a lot. Personally prefer this to enter the gungeon (love that too though)

A guy on Facebook, he delivers them nationwide, would you like me to PM his details?

Can you send me his details as well please

I was just about to pull the trigger but initial reviews have put me off. Having not played 4 or 5, I might pick up one of those instead. Be interested to hear impressions

Servers down for anyone else?

There was a 4gb update last night and its fucked the game for me. 

 

Some of my mods just don't work anymore and the handful of games I played with others were a laggy mess. 

 

Even when I reran a couple expiditions there was lag and I also got annihilated within minutes on a exhibition tier than I coasted through a day earlier. Going to give it a rest for a bit. 

Funny you say that, i did think my mods didn't seem to be proccing and i was getting one shot by practically everything but i didn't think it could be the game. 

Bit of a shame as I've loved it and wanted to get into the grind of expeditions but today has really put me off. 

I think the game is well worth paying good money for but the mess of the whole launch would certainly mean i would have returned it by now had i bought it

Servers seem to be down again. I tried a bit of matchmaking earlier and it was a lag fest

They didn't. You can still a Legendary every time you complete and reset all 10 hunts, they just removed the exploit that gave you a Legendary after every single hunt was turned in.

Are the expeditions/lucky drops the only other way to get legendaries? Also, I've finished the campaign on world tier 12,any reason i should level it to 15 (and if so how?) or should i just focus on expeditions?

I'm enjoying this as an occasional thing to play. Hit my first difficulty spike getting to the second city in an area swamped with countless enemies and a captain (where all the anomaly stuff is going on). Great satisfaction when I finally broke through it and got to the next checkpoint.

 

Couldn't imagine paying full price for this though and would have felt a little ripped off if I had. It's just very average and generic, the sort of game you would pick up at sub £20 and be fine with. Feels very antiquated as well, would have been fine released 10 years ago amongst games like Gears etc.

It's funny because i think I'm enjoying it even more because it's very linear, generic and old school. I don't have to worry about checking every path etc, just enjoy the shooting, check out my new gear and move on to the next arena. These days it takes 10 hours just to be able to access a games main systems. This is pretty much great from the off imo

Annoying. I got to the

Chrysaloid

 

boss at Tier 8 and he's ridiculously easy but was taking about nine hours to kill with my weapons. More accurately, about ten minutes to get to phase 2 just running around holding down the button. Fair enough, a little slow, but whatever. Then he brings in those flying fucking bugs right near the end which can melt me instantly. Die a few times, almost weeping with boredom at the length of time it's taking to whittle down his health bar, then get killed again. Fourth try the cooldown I need just stops cooling down. Get melted on literally the last fucking wasp thing in the second cycle with no chance to activate my bubble. 

 

Drop to Tier 1 because I don't want to spend fifteen minutes plinking away only to get melted by three goddamn bees again, and then I get my first legendary - the Thunderbird drops at level 20 instead of 25 or whatever.

 

Ha ha, game! Well played, you absolute asshole.

Is world tier progression linked to anything in particular? I'm at the same boss as your but only on tier 6 and I've done a fair few (not all but most) side missions

Servers seem fine (albeit slow) now. Had a fun couple of hours with a mate

This has some of the most confusing, shitty and broken mission design in recent memory. 

How far in are you?

Yeah just booted me out middle of A game 

Yeah me too, having spent about 20 mins trying to get in. I thought the benefit of this is that it isn't a live game yet i can't bloody play it due to server issues. 

The 5 mins i got of the mission I'm on were amazing though

Are the servers down for anyone? I can't start the game... Keeps failing at authentication

This game has the most absurd difficult spike in world tier 4 in the second city....

 

Don't be afraid to knock the tier back down!

I am getting absolutely owned by the first boss. Might knock it down a level then
